First lets start off with what type of coilovers I have. They are tanabe sustec pro II (they are not damper adjustable and you use stock top mounts.)

They are also installed on an Acura RSX-S

Alright so here is the problem. In the rear I put everything that was on the top part of the stock strut on this one. Well everytime I hit a bump the shock does what I would say is seperates from the top mount. I took a picture and the pink color is the gap after I went over a bump. How big of a bump? My durb to my driveway The black part that the red arrow is pointing to stays in place and the rest of the strut moves upward. It happens if I stand in the trunk and jump up and down Also attached is a picture of all the parts that came with it. Maybe I am missing something??





Was I supposed to put this part in the the coilover set up any place?



If so where? I just looked at the stock rear shocks and I have these left over but the directions from tanabe do not say anything about this piece.

That is with me just jumping in the trunk

 

you forgot to put a washer (i think) on the rod before you put the top hat on

edit: i actually dont really know. Im not familiar with RSX set ups.

nope that was what I forgot. It was allowing the rubber boot to slide onto the strut shaft. Thanks!
